I spent a lot of time trying to get a glossy depth to the blue aluminium of the fuselage and wings, including reflections of the wing markings in the highly polished metal. I was quite pleased with the light reflecting off the cockpit, the pilot hunched over the controls (almost urging the Seafire on), and the brute power suggested by the twin counter-rotating propellers.
The Seafire was a naval version of the Supermarine Spitfire specially adapted for operation from aircraft carriers. The name Seafire is derived by collapsing the two words Sea Spitfire.
